Hello everyone,
I had a situation where my tachometer cable came loose at the tachometer. I reattched it as tight as I could be hand and is holding so far. I wanted to know if I should try and tighten it more using pliers, or could that cause damage. Or is it common practice to apply something to the threads to assure it holds? There isn't much room behind there to work. Thanks, SAC |

Thanks, SAC Take it out; take it down to your closest speedometer shop and have them duplicate it; install the new one in your plane. -- Remve "_" from email to reply to me personally. |

There is thread locking compound available at your local auto parts
store. "Locktite" Made for just such a situation. Holds strong but allows for removal. |

There isn't much room behind there to work. Thanks, SAC I'd get a pair of pliers on it, and just cinch it down a little bit more than you could get by hand. Not a big fan of the Locktite approach. Once tight it should hold, unless there is something else wrong. z |
